Danielle Botelho, PhD, is Director of Scientific Operations at the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM), where she leads a team of scientists responsible for evaluating fragrance ingredients used in consumer products worldwide. With a PhD in Toxicology from Rutgers University, Dr. Botelho specializes in translating complex safety science into defensible, real-world conclusions. Her published work spans chemical clustering, alternative testing strategies, and pulmonary toxicology, and she brings a collaborative, consumer-centered approach to making rigorous science accessible. At HCPA 2026, she'll walk attendees through RIFM's exposure-based safety framework, showing just how wide the margin is between everyday fragrance use and any level of concern; and why that matters for the industry.
